[Surferboy567]

both parties will seek to defer briefing on the appeal while negotiating a new development agreement.

The district commits to reviewing and potentially amending the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, with consultations involving Disney and other relevant parties.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall

The new board chair is the CEO of Bags - a major Disney vendor.

He sold Bags a few years ago and left. More recently he has been behind some deals at and around Church Street Station.

The new board chair is the CEO of Bags - a major Disney vendor.

The new district administrator has worked closely with their lobbyists in the past.

It seems like the plan right now is to make the current situation work.

Disney has reserved the right to reopen the federal case, while giving up the right to enforce the development agreements as written (likewise, the District can’t sue them again in state court over the matter).

Seems like a pragmatic win.

Bridget Z and Ron Peri just have to keep zooming in for another 10 months then they’re gone too.

If Disney wiggles its way back in to have control of their business, I guess that would be a win and back to their old situation, which worked fine for 50 years.

lol, having been to Church St last week as my sister moved into a high-rise near there, that is not a good sign

Close enough - he’s been friendly with Disney in the past.

Got to thread the needle of DeSantis donors that they can work with.

Concerning the federal court case Disney filed, which is currently on appeal, both parties will seek to defer briefing on the appeal while negotiating a new development agreement.

The district commits to reviewing and potentially amending the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, with consultations involving Disney and other relevant parties.

I thought these agreements were untouchable and Disney was going to win in all their lawsuits?

 

[wdwmagic]

It does impact the Federal lawsuit to some extent. Both parties will seek to defer briefing on the appeal while negotiating a new development agreement.

The funniest part of this for me is Gilzean and Garcia clearly being blindsighted while this is happening up in Tallahassee.

“Oh wow I can’t believe the Governor gave me a second job!”

 

[Surferboy567]

This seems bad, why back off? Is the district willing to play nice? I doubt it.

This settlement was announced around the same time a new board member is appointed and a new district administrator selected. Interesting timing (to say the least).

 

[monothingie]

The only winners in the end were the lawyers.

 

[flynnibus]

The giving up on the developer agreement I don’t see an issue with. That was always a maneuver to just hinder the new gov board. But trying actions of the fed suit into this settlement just seems like a total capitulation by Disney.

There is almost zero concessions to Disney here… this looks like Disney just laying down its sword and taking the knee.

I have a feeling they had input in the new chain and administrator. Felt they were people they could work with. I could obviously be wrong.

 

[Disney Glimpses]

Change in leadership in the District amidst all of this being announced? Sounds like both parties are ready to move on and put the theatrics in the past. Back to business as usual.

I was hoping yourself, or someone else could break these down.

Lol we are so back baby.
